nbc news confirmed rick perry of texas, the texas governor will formally announce his intention to run for president this saturday. that's, of course, the same day as the iowa straw poll and a perfect way to for perry to upstage the event and other candidates. sarah palin, too, is in iowa and she and perry are getting lots of buzz. could that be because republicans are simply unhappy with tonight's debate lineup? the big question, it's not winning the debate, when will the party emerge as dominant? traditional, whose turn is it? guys like romney and pawlenty or the tea party will triumph? the bachmann ring, surrender or treason? a bad showing tonight could spell the end of a couple of the candidacies. also, put together an unpopular dead deal, 30 american deaths in afghanistan, a terrible run on wall street and declining poll number, and what do you get? a bunch of democrats getting very nervous about president obama's re-election chances. >>> and hypocrisy watch tonight. mitt romney has been bragging about how s&p mashed massachusetts' credit rating as governor up there. what he doesn

a businessman turned preacher in texas. this is the world that ted cruz grew up in, the sort of preaching from the pulpit -- the secular pulpit, if you will. but it's not that secular. his religious framework is one of believing church values should be guiding society, not government. they set up a direct conflict between government and faith. that's what he's pursuing. both with his hand gestures and his politics. don't forget, chris, in iowa evangelicals are an important, important part if not the dominant part of the grassroots of the republican party. and as david said, if 2016's already underway, ted cruz is making a direct play in words and gesture for the evangelical vote in iowa, which is where the whole thing begins in the republican presidential contest. >> tell me first and then david. what is the republican right, what is the "we" they talk about. it doesn't include minorities and hispanics. it is to suppose white evangelicals, anti-government, what else? what are the pieces of this right wing -- the "we" when h
